Answer #1

“Their diet includes invertebrates (such as insects, spiders, earthworms, snails and crabs), fish, reptiles, amphibians, birds and small mammals.”

 I got this from the website:

http://www.owlpages.com/articles.php?section=Owl+Physiology&title=Food

refer bac 2 this if you need more info=D. I also found out from this website that in the USA and Australia, it is illegal to own owls unless you have special permission, so I hope that you know what you are getting into. it may akso be illegal in other places, so you may have 2 check out the law in your area.

Answer #2

Baby owls eat regurgitated food from their mothers. They can’t eat by themselves. Take it to ASPCA or a wildlife control group. If not it will probably die. Good Luck!!

Answer #3

They eat rodents, that’s for sure…ya better get some mice…

I don’t think they are scavengers, tho…so they might want their food live…
